begged him not to
saddened, nodded
No words
Later, he gasped
The knife
looked to his wounds
Scars
Filth
Himself
Blood
Underneath his skin
Blue.. like death,
Red, like life
Spilling.
In his mind
The knife.
In hand
Glistening
Menacing
Curving serpentine
Scales of silver
Ivory inlaid
Set to kill
And not survive
Only had himself in mind
Hypnotic
Snakes eyes
Metal
Slicing
Skin demise
Blood out pouring
Sad addiction
Bleeding
Sorrow
Broken promise
No words
A knife
In hand
Life flowing down
To the drain
Out to sewers
Seas
From every living
A flow of life
Every second
Goes out to sea
Out to oceans
Waves of promises
Broken by
The vengeful sea.
